Ingredients:
  • Pinch of saffron threads
  • 20.00 gm boiling water
  • 1 leek, white part only, thinly sliced
  • 1 celery stick, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, seeded, finely chopped
  • 125ml white wine
  • 1530.00 gm (1.5 litres) fish stock
  • 12 large green prawns, peeled leaving tails intact, deveined
  • 12 black mussels, scrubbed, debearded
  • 400g white fish fillet (such as flathead), cut into 3cm strips
  • Crusty baguette, to serve
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 11.80 gm Dijon mustard
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 125ml olive oil
Instructions:
  • For the lemon aïoli, combine egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor. Process until mixed. While running, slowly pour in the oil until thick and pale. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine saffron and boiling water in a small bowl, then let it soak for 10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté leek, celery, and garlic for 2 minutes until leek softens. Stir in carrot and tomato, cook for 1 minute until heated through. Pour in wine, bring to a boil, and simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the fish stock and saffron mixture, bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Gently add the prawns and mussels, cover, and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the mussels open and prawns turn pink. Next, sprinkle in the fish and cook for 1 more minute until just done. Take off the heat.
  • Pour the soup into individual bowls and garnish with a dollop of aioli. Serve right away with crusty bread on the side, if preferred.
